Health Network Laboratories announces the opening of its second patient center in Lehighton.

This new facility, located in the Carbon Plaza Mall, 1205 Blakeslee Blvd. East, Lehighton, is open from 6 a.m. to 2 p.m. Monday through Friday

This patient center offers safe, contactless check-in while still allowing walk-in access to state-of-the-art lab testing.

“Expanding our services to patients in Carbon County is a priority to HNL Lab Medicine. Doing so supports our efforts to improve the health of the community and region by making health care safer, accessible, and affordable,” said Maria Foster, vice president, Sales and Marketing and Chief Customer Experience Officer for HNL Lab Medicine.

“By establishing the new patient center in close proximity to Lehigh Valley Health Network’s new Rehabilitation Services center, we make laboratory services even more convenient to patients of Lehighton and surrounding communities,” Foster said.

At HNL Lab Medicine’s Patient Centers, appointments are not needed and wait times are typically less than 15 minutes. Walk-in patients can access an extensive array of tests from routine blood work to the most advanced genetic screening.

Uninsured patients or those with high deductible health plans may benefit from self-pay options to decrease out-of-pocket expenses. Most tests are completed within 24 hours and results can be viewed on their free patient portal, MyHNLAccess.

Patients who would like the convenience of an in-home service can utilize HNL Lab Medicine’s House Calls, in which a dedicated phlebotomist travels to a patient’s home eliminating the need to drive or leave the comfort of home.

Patients can call 855-373-6262 to schedule an in-home appointment.

HNL Lab Medicine participates with more than 50 major insurance company plans and over 300 plan types.

They are dedicated to providing patients accessible, affordable, and high-quality lab services.

HNL Lab Medicine has a patient-friendly billing policy including a self-pay option that can help patients significantly decrease out of pocket expenses.

HNL Lab Medicine’s Patient Centers throughout the area provide convenient walk-in access to state-of-the-art lab testing.
